Abstract
Declarative testing is very important in logic program developments, as without testing no one can guarantee that every program is definitely correct, no matter how elegant and high-level the programming languages used. Unfortunately, the activity of declarative testing for logic programs (or even the ordinary testing for conventional programs) has received little attention. There is little formal theory of testing, and attempts to develop a methodology of testing are rare. In this paper, we provide a theoretical foundation for declarative testing in arbitrary first order logic programming using recursion theories. In particular, we present a theoretical analysis of three kinds of declarative testing method: I/O testing, I/Y testing, and X/Y testing for logic programs.
